Real Madrid, coming back to Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho, would be a catastrophic move – and here's why

They never say go back, but a Real Madrid return is a real opportunity for Jose Mourinho if his Manchester United deal is finished between now and the summer.

Since Mourinho left Santiago Bernabeu 2013 after three seasons in Spain, President Florentino Perez has considered renting Portuguese for a second spelling in the club.

He thought about it when Carlo Ancelotti was fired in 2015; He thought about it after dismissing Rafa Benitez in early 2016; He thought about when Zinedine Zidane left in May; and he is still thinking about it now.

And as Standard Sport has revealed, Mourinho knows that too.

When the Christmas Lopetegui was fired in late October, Perez put his views on Antonio Conte as his successor. The design magnates admire authoritarian coaches who will see to cover every detail and introduce a strict rule over the players. Italian was one of them and Mourinho is another.

New story shows, however, that it is another type of coach that has succeeded in Real Madrid. The club’s last six European Cup crowns have been won by Vicente del Bosque (two), Ancelotti (one) and Zidane (three), leader in emphasis on man-handling rather than rigid and strict tactical instructions.

“Respect is earned, not imposed,” Sergio Ramos said when asked about Conte after the 5-1 loss in Barcelona that sealed Lopetegui’s fate in October. “You know what kind of trainer has won here,” he said. “Handling the changing room is more important than the coach’s tactical knowledge.”

Mourinho believes Real Madrid will save him from Man Utd nightmare

Ramos worked with Mourinho for three years and it was during Portuguese that he switched from right back to his current position in central defense.

But the two men did not finish well after a number of bustups and at the end of his reign, the defender and goalkeeper Iker Casillas told Perez: “Either he goes or we do …”

Mourinho left that summer , but Perez had really wanted him to stay. However, the situation in the locker room had reached the breaking point. Portuguese had fallen out with Casillas, Ramos, Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo. It was time for a change.

After leaving, Ramos celebrated Ancelotti while aiming for a not so subtle digger on Mourinho. “You can say he was a top player,” said the defender of the Italian on more than one occasion. The Portuguese, of course, had not been.

And before the Uefa Super Cup match between Manchester United and Real Madrid last year, Mourinho reminded how Ramos had never played in the quarter before his arrival. finals in the Champions League.

“What he said is true,” replied Ramos. “In the first few years, until he arrived, we did not go past the last 16 but now I have three Champions League and I do not think he had anything to do with it.” On the contrary. “

While the other players struggled with Mourinho has left the club, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (below) has worked with Portuguese in Chelsea and he has talked about the difficulties during the last year when Blues finally hit

According to a report in El Pais, Courtois recently told comrades at Real that he could not believe it after the difficulty of playing under Conte and Mourinho he can now find himself with one or the other in his new club.

Perez had in the meantime ruled out former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger because he wanted a coach in his career and not on his way down. Mourinho clearly falls into the second category. He is not the same swaggering coach who rocked up in 2010 after winning the treble with Inter.

After interrupting Lopetegui, Madrid temporarily designated the youth team coach Santiago Solari and has now confirmed Argentinean as permanent manager with a contract that runs until summer 2021.

The Lopetegui Agreement would also expire in 2021, and these agreements means little on Real Madrid. If Solari finishes the season without a big trophy, Perez can turn to Mourinho.

It will only happen if Portuguese is dismissed by United, but with the four already looking like a difficult goal for the old Trafford outfit, he could be relieved of his tasks between now and the end of the season.

Back in Spain, however, he must meet a powerful and influential figure in Ramos, while some sectors of the club’s fan base would also be against his return.

Mourinhos tenur e will remember the brutal battles against Barcelona and although it was a real success for Real to stop Pep Guardiola’s big team in their tracks it came at a cost, with a defensive and often dangerous aggressive football style, constant arguments with media, fallouts in the locker room and very bad blood.

Perez knows everything and despite the many warning signs he still wants to bring back Portuguese.
